Mekhi Phifer to Star in Hunter's Moon

April 25, 2008

James L. White and Boom Studios have attached Mekhi Phifer's Facilitator Films to produce Hunter's Moon, a live-action version of White's graphic novel, with Phifer in the lead role.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, White is in final negotiations to adapt "Moon" as his first feature screenplay since the biopic Ray.

Phifer (NBC's "ER") will play a stockbroker who takes his son on a weekend hunting trip in the woods. The teen is kidnapped, forcing the father to do the criminals' bidding to save the boy's life.

Boom co-founders Andrew Cosby and Ross Richie will produce under their Boom Entertainment with Phifer and his Facilitator partner Ronnie Warner.

White (who co-owns the project with Boom) published "Moon" as a five-part comic series last year and released it in novel form this month via the Boom label.

Does anyone have a good link to where I can get information on this graphic novel? I think I'd need a lil more info than a hunting-trip-gone-wrong story to appreciate this. There must be more to it.

I'm with you Harish...

Hunting trip gone wrong (with only a kidnapping) seems to basic of an everyday story to be a decent graphic novel...

I'm not tryna be a troll or hate on a film that hasn't even begun filming yet, but this is proof positive that there's nothing new under the sun: this looks to me lyk "Nick of Time", but in the woods.

It will therefore join such other greats as:

"Flightplan" = "Redeye" = "Nick of Time + Plane
"Don't Say A Word" = "Nick Of Time" + Graveyard/Middle of Nowhere

The Dark Knight, that is just...just...good grief...that is just pathetic. That you weren't even first makes it all the more sad...

Wow! Look at me! Gosh! Gee! I'm number 7! Woo hoo! I'm not as much of a loser as the guys who like to say that they're first, but I still rank as a geek with no life! Yay!

Idiots...

Harish, thanks for not claiming "first". You've restored my faith in this website.

Why does this sound like Waist Deep (horrible movie) in the woods? I hope it is much better...

Posted by: hypestyle on April 25, 2008 at 11:30:27

phifer should be in a marvel film... falcon, cloak (& dagger), black panther, brother voodoo..

Here is the edge that makes this graphic novel different. The lead character is black and when his son is kidnapped, he has to find help in the racist all white town he is stuck in.

Sounds like a life lesson they put in animated form to teach kids the effects on racism and equality. It does sound like the movie WAIST DEEP...Tyrese stay in the singing realm. Wanna do a cool hunter in the woods movie...remake a lil 80's gem called Quiet Cool. James remar battle california pot heads in a Cali Nat'l Park!
